A Coruña Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
A Coruña faces the Atlantic with a lighthouse that has stood since Roman times — a city as tough and luminous as the coast it guards.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through A Coruña on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow riddles through the Praza de María Pita, the Parque da Marina, and the ancient Igrexa de Santiago — civic pride, waterfront character, and medieval faith
• Move through the city at your own pace with no fixed timetable
• Suits any group looking to see Galicia's coastal capital from the inside out
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
The Tower of Hercules watched Rome come and go — this walk is considerably shorter.

What To Expect
Starting in central A Coruña near the Praza de María Pita, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and [BRAND] chat message. You're in the heart of a city that has been watching the Atlantic for two thousand years.
Your first landmark is the Praza de María Pita itself, the grand arcaded square named after the local heroine who raised the alarm during Sir Francis Drake's 1589 raid. The town hall and surrounding galleries make it one of the most elegant squares in Galicia.
From there the app takes you to the Parque da Marina, a waterfront park stretching along the bay where families, cyclists, and evening walkers share a promenade between the sea and the city's famous glazed balconied houses.
The route concludes at the Igrexa de Santiago, a Romanesque church in the old city whose worn stone columns and carved tympanum date to the 12th century — one of the oldest buildings still standing in A Coruña.
Around 2 hours on foot along mostly flat streets close to the seafront.
